THE big day is here. After weeks of politicking, thousands of signs and a lot of the usual political hot air, voters will end the Primary season when polls close at 7 p.m. tonight. Elections supervisor Monica Franklin is predicting a turnout of 20-25 percent. In-person absentee voting ended at 7 p.m. Friday, with 1,839 people casting ballots. Another 200 had returned paper absentee ballots as of Friday evening, but paper ballots may be brought to the elections office all of the way up until the polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The Democrats have no contested local primary races, but Republican voters will pick five nominees — in districts 1, 2 and 3 of the Barrow County Board of Commissioners, District 8 of the Barrow County Board of Education, and for Barrow County Chief Magistrate. Of those, the District 3 BOC nominee will be the only one facing Democratic opposition in November’s general election.
Election results will be posted on BarrowJournal.com tonight.
No Poll but multiple Polls for other races.
Lampp was a main player in the Airport BOC, but it seems that issue is played down as irrational fears blown out of proportion.
Seems the issues that removed him from office are being soft pedaled by those in power and the press alike...

Taxes are like the burden the Pack Mule carries everyday...
The Pack Mule does not ask who added to his burden...
All he know is that his pack just got heavier.
So, too Regardless of source (Fed, State, Local(BOC))all we know is the county(BOC) seems to ask for more money without concern as to the load we are already carrying.
The Local Candidates Impact your wallet more then any State / Federal politician
We have a choice.
Those that promise a better future (lower taxes, less government interference - the freedom to fail or succeed without the BOC's blessing)
vs
Those that have stolen our future (wasted taxes, stole our land and lied about it)
